Hey Vince!

It's good to see you here too!!  Thanks for your encurgment.  It
really helps me to keep all this in proper prospective when I can
share it with others like your self.

So sounds like you began to meet more women when you chose just to be
your self.  So are you dating different women now, are are you pritty
much just seeing one person?  Have you dated both disabled
&nondisabled women?  Could you talk alittle more about the different
asspecks of that if there are any?

Thanks-Gary
